Coohoolin said you get a discount for being in a 'pro indy party' so surely being in Labour wouldn't get you a discount even if you personally are pro independence?

Cat Mattress posted:The only way this makes sense is if they're too dumb to discern what the party they vote for is all about. 3-4% suggests more than 2 standard deviations from IQ of 100 is <80; and that's assuming UKIP voters are drawn at random from the larger population so....

I've not been able to see much of it so far because of work and travelling last weekend, but I did go to a lovely wee trad session at the Lismore and I was at Loki's album launch at the Art School on Friday which was fun. Hoping to see some more of it before I head up.

Edit: there's certainly an intersection between the right and the far right, but it's like saying UKIP and the BNP are the same thing, they're just not.

Get some grape juice, a couple shots of vodka, and some effervescent vitamin tablets and drink it quickly, that's all i need. Replace the tablets with paracetamol and you'll never be hungover again guaranteed

There are scumbags on any side of a debate involving large groups of people and Scottish Independence is no different. Scottish Nationalists have to always seek to downplay their own problems as it doesn't help their myth that their nationalism is the 'good' type.

I couldn't be arsed wading through photos of orangemen to find the unmolested original, that banner is real Maybe you could explain the subtle difference between the three racist white supremacist organisations and why anyone should give a gently caress about those differences
